  1. Hakuouki, A Reflection

    by , 03-10-2015 at 01:17 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    For a change of pace I thought I'd write more of a reflection rather than a full-on review for this novel. I'll go through the story routes in the order I went through them. Expect spoilers for the routes in question.

    Regular End

    First time through I didn't focus on any guy in particular, and so I ended up not getting enough 'romance' on anyone to enter their route. And so I ended up with the regular end...

    Damn this game turns dark fast. Basically during a ...

    A demonstration of how to defeat Air Man on the Difficult setting of Mega Man 2.

    Just keep jumping forward and shooting, and you'll outlast him. He ain't that hard. Quickman is nigh impossible with just the arm cannon.

  3. Hakuouki -Shinsengumi Kitan- First Impressions

    by , 03-02-2015 at 01:14 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)

    Finally started reading this one. Had to import a copy from the UK and borrow a 3DS as I don't have my own, but I'll gladly make that effort. I first heard of it thanks to Pumpkin's Favorite Games countdown, but since have also heard it being recommended by other people so I was rather eager to check it out.

    Since I'm not reading it on my PC for a change, I can't take screenshots as easily. Sorry bout that.

    So ...
  4. Women's Month 2015

    It's been a busy month for me. Between work and admining a new site I haven't had much time to be active on here. Anyway, per tradition, I thought I'd spend this time to show you all next month's lineup. I was going to review another Tomb Raider and Metroid game this year, but I thought that'd be too much of the same thing, so here's a fresh new batch of games all starring the ladies.

  6. AIR Common Route Thoughts

    by , 02-26-2015 at 10:46 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)

    AIR's common route is quite entertaining, I must say. So far it has done a good job creating a potentially interesting setting for the character routes.

    First off, the soundtrack is amazing. Need I mention Natsukage? So damn good. Or the opening Tori no Uta, IMO one of Key's best openings, music-wise at least? Yeah, it's great.

    Yukito is a great protagonist. It's not often that Key protagonists actually have an ...

    Still have a lot more to add/check around in the project. It is in progress, but there's more ideas I'm working into the separate character plot points/story details and such.
  10. Oh look, a new challenge!

    Remember my 365 days thing? I found it very motivational and noticed I was pretty happy doing it, so I took that and made something new!

    http://thousandthings.weebly.com/

    This is essentially my 'bucket list' or 'life goals'! I have a bunch of challenges written down that I need to complete. It won't be a daily thing like the other one but I hope it's still fun and gives me the same joy the last one did

    I'm still open for challenge suggestions (1000 is a lot!) ...
